mm: don't warn when vmalloc() fails due to a fatal signal
When vmalloc() fails it prints a very lengthy message with all the details about memory consumption assuming that it happened due to OOM. However, vmalloc() can also fail due to fatal signal pending. In such case the message is quite confusing because it suggests that it is OOM but the numbers suggest otherwise. The messages can also pollute console considerably. Don't warn when vmalloc() fails due to fatal signal pending.
